Carter wasn't under a war scenario to where his Constitutional Authorities applied or was given authorization for use of force by congress. Even according to FISA the rules change under those scenarios.

I'd counsel Gonzales to stay well away from any argument that rings of "statutory permission under FISA, in wartime."

I don't think he'll get that far because he'll buckle this committee in about the 3rd time of stating the President has the Authority under Article 2.
